Flowing in Green Corn
Practical Farmer.

PRACTICAL Farmer.
Light sandy land that is enriched en-
tirely with concentrated commercial fer
tilizers will produce better crops, if one
year out of every eight or ten be devoted
to growing green crops, to be plowed I'M
der to furnish the soil with vegetable ma
teriai. When it is decided to do this
something is gained if Immediately after
harvesting the crop in the autumn, winter
rye be sown; this will cover the ground
before winter sets in, and thus protect the
land, and as soon as spring opens it will
be IN condition to make a rapid growth.
When 1t gets well up 1t should be plowea
under and the land seeded with clover
this being one of the best crops to enrich
the land with one of the most important
materials for plant growth; both the roots
and tops of clover being very rich in nj
trogen, and as 1t draws all of this ind
rectly from the air, whatever is plrwed
in Is so much gained to the soil Some
claim that good crop of clover tops and
roots will furnish the soil with as much
nitrogen as can be purchased for 500. If
this is really true farmers had better raise
clover to pillow in than to pay eighteen
cents pound for nitrogen. The COW pea
is said TO be good crop 10 grow to pillow
we cannot speak of it from our own
knowledge. Formerly buckwheat was
used TO pillow In green, but this has gore
out of use as a rule. Indian corn fur
nlshes large amount of material to pillow
In, but We have never ibeea fully satisfied
with this crop; for some reason other
crops do not grow as well after it as after
clover, and In fact many other crops; the
land indicates that an acid has been
formed by the decomposition of the corn
stalks. Mlllet makes better green crop
than corn. Whatever summer crop is
grown, except clover, should be followed
by winter rye to shade the land and to
furnish a crop 10 pillow under the next
spring. 1t should be the aim of the farm
er TO have his land exposed to the sun
shine as little as possible, always keeping
some crop growing on it, thus drawing as
much as possible from the air.
Clover sown in the spring may be
plowed under the next sprirg, or if the
land is in fair condition it may be per
mitted to grow and one crop harvested,
and when the second crop is grown, pillow
it under and SOW winter rye, to be plowed
under as late in the spring as the land cen
| be spared before wanted to plant. In
this way in two years three crops can be
| plowed under and one crop harvested or
| in one summer and two winters two green
crops can be plowed in. Land thus
treatsd will be in good condition to
| produce crops eight or ten years,
with only concentrated fertilizers to en-
rice it.

Care of Breeding SOws.
American Agriculturist.

When the SOW has been properly fed on
coarse and cooling foods, so that she is
not in feverish condition, she may be
expected to do we'll unless overfed after
the pigs are born. This is often the case,
and the effects are very injurious. Strong
food of any kind 81 ould be avoided, as it
tends to infame the blood. which is al
ways, at such tine, in moro or less
feverish condition. This fact is quite too
often overlooked, and the owner thinks
he must brace up his SOW with plenty of
g cd food. This is the very worst thing
tn. he can do, as it over-stimulates the
milk glands, and thus infames the udders.
When the udders are infamed they are
very sore, and the SOW will often refuse to
let the pigs suck, although she will lie
down frequently. In jumping up she is
sure to step on some of the pigs and
either kill them outright, or inlure them
badly The SOW should be in such con-
dition of health, that she will not get up
for hours after the pigs are born. This
is the natural course, and when the SOW
has the run of field and can get all
the grass she wants previous to the time
of narrowing, she will not leave her nest
for two or three. days. Under such cir
cumstancss she seldom loses pig. and
rarely has any trouble with her udders. 1t
is not the size of the udders whica makes
the Inflammation but the condition of
the blood; although when the udders are
large, the flow of milk is usually in pro-
portion, and the food should be reduced
20 little thin slop for few days. 1t
should be gradually increased for a week
or ten days before full feed is given. An
excess of milk will cause the udders to be-
come hard, stop the flow, and dry up the
secretion. When a SOW has had this kind
of trouble once, she is untitled for a
mother and should be fattened.

Working in the Garden.


There is not only profit in managing
garden. but pleasure. Many persons
attach no value to the labor of garden
work, especially when it affords them a
mode of healthy outdoor exercise. but
whether garden be only a very small
plot or larger area, the advantages de-
rived depend upon the skill, care and
labor of the person who has charge of it,
1t Is true that, while those who cultivate
hundreds of acres of truck can produce
vegetables much more cheaply than can
those whose plots are too small
to permit of the use of improved i'm pie
ments, the gardener who grows his vege-
tables for homo use secures q freshness
and quality that can not be obtained with
vegetables that are purchased. There is
quite difference between the pulling of
ripe tomato from the vine and placing
it on the table and the selection of one
from basket that has been shipped ov-
er distance of rail, and which may have
been taken from the vines two or three
days before.
But there is also another advantage in
family gardening other than the fresh
ness and quality of the small fruits and
vegetables grown, which is the choice of
faiAO1iSs. L VIZ VI luIte h1uUS OF
several of peas, as we'll as different varie-
ties of beets, beans, berries, and even of
melons, if space allow of their growth,
will permit of catering to the preference
of every member of the family. With
the selection of varieties come the proper
care and judicious working with the hoe
and it is in this matter that the younger
members are taught their first lessons in
practical agriculture. 1t is said that the
boy who works on farm where his
duties call for milking the cows, blowing
the fields and cultivating the crops,
does not have that fondness for farm
life that is peculiar to the one who is
given a small garden aud early taught to
take an interest in it.
1t is often the case that the ladies are
benefited by light work in the garden,
especially if they are interested in OBJ
serving the different stages of the growth
of plants, and when the farmers wife,
and the children also, become interested,
tho cost of the labor may be really CON
sidered as nothing, while the saving of
doctors bills and the enjoyment of
the garden Injuries more than compen-
safe for the care bestowed. If every
farmer would have garden and take an
interest in it, it would greatly add to the
comfort and enjoyment ot farming as
well as prove very profitable.

Sugar Beets for Cows.
Prairie Farmer

Are sugar beets good for mich cows?"
asked a gentleman not long since. Well,
yes, brit not for steady diet. dairy
farmer in Massachusetts said he fed them,
without thinking that they would iniure
the milk or butter, and that after he had
been feeding them for awhile, his Gus
TONERS planned that his butter had a
peculiar, strong mot rancid) flavor, and
after careful examination he discarded
the beets, and the butter was all right
Another Massachusetts dairyman says
that he has fed from a peck to half a
bushel of beets daily for a number of
years, dividing the quantity fed, giving
portion in the morning and the remain
der at night, but in both cases after milk
ing, and there has been no complaint of
faint about his milk or butter.
Beets are not used to any great extent
in the west, for the reason that they can
get better feed in the clover, corn, oats
and corn stalks, at very little more cost
than beets, and they are aware that these
produce good milk, whereas, in feeding
beets the greatest care must be exercised
or the milk will be tainted with an odor
that will be disagreeable. The time was
when beets formed large part of the
ratICns of the dairy COW, but in the days
of fine, gilt-edged butter, dairymen have
to be exceedingly careful as to what and
how they feed.

Keep serene temper. Fretful, cross,
ugly tempers are contagious. Don't let
your cross grained boys break your colt
or steer unless you want a spoiled animal.
Remember that pleasant disposition is
very catching, while an open heart and
smiling oountenance permeate the whole
household. You can get douole more
work from man or beast (eIoept the mule)
by kindness that you can by force. Your
wife will always execute your wishes if
you treat her as you did about the time
you were married. Her righteous indig-
nation is justly aroused while trying to
iron your shirt bosoms with nothing but
green wood in the stove, especially If she
had to dig that out of snow drift, yet
she should not put a libel on brute crea-
ton by calling you such. Look we'll to
the comfort of all that is surrounding
you. See that your cattle and horses are
not breathing no1ious air or sleeping on
wet straw throus h your negligence, for 1t
certainly is not theirs. Don't yard your
sheep and cattle together il you can pos
sibly avoid it. Bear in mind that if you
treat your swine hoggish they, too, will
be hoggish in their returns. Give your
fowls a warm breakfast, well seasoned
with red pepper and little salt, and they
will pay you in the egg basket. But don't
forget that an innocent-looking chicken
will bear watching, especially when head
ed for the garden.

FrnnceS War PIGEONS

General Coulanger has recently given
prizes to the best trainers of carrier
pigeons in the department of the Seine.
Pigeon training in France has become a
branch of the military service, and plenty
of welltrained birds are to be found in
the costly and beautiful little establish
ments that have been built for them. They
are furnished with modern Improvements
and luxuries that vulgar and ignorant pig
cons could never appreciate. Among the
pigeons now in the possession of the gov
eminent are several veterans of the siege
of Paris, and one among them is genu-
inc old hero. In 1870 this bird was tax
en- up in the Paris balloon called the
Niepce, and was captured by the Pruss-
ians.t Prince Frederick Charles sent him as
present to his mother, the Princess
Charles of Prussia, who put him among
her own collection of birds, whore he was
treated with all possible kindness. But
he vas patriot. The bitter bread of ex-
lie did not agree with him. He few away
and reached bis home in pigeon house
in Boulevard Ciichy. The owner of this
establishment handed him over to the
military authorities, and he is now once
more in the service of his native country,
and doubtless hopes to win additional
glory in the future.

Fyperimepting With Oats


l.. W. Peet, of Addison county, Yer
mont, writes to the Rural New Yorker:
my ewn method. which cor number OF
years has been pursued with pleasure and
profit. is as follows: Select eight or ten
varieties, weigh the seed carefully and
SOW all at the same date in drills, on I'M
MANFRED ground of uniform richness;
tend with impartial care. At harvest
time make the following record: y Num-
Der of days in ripening; ~ Weight of
straw; ~ strength of straw or tendency
to lodge; az freedom from rust; (5)
Smelling tendency; (6) weight of cleaned
grain ca quality. This last item would
include the relative hardness and thick
ness of the shuck, as well as the color
and amount of boards adhering to the
grain. By shocking quantity of each
variety and weighing the different pro-
ducts in chemical scales and relative
weight of the shucks would be obtained,
while their hardness might require
another test. This process, though
tedious one, has been pursued once or
twice by me with satisfactory results 1t
will be found that no one variety Will
fully answer the demands Of the above
tests, and q com pronise must be made
by selecting the half of the varieties
yielding the best average, and the follow
ing year substituted new varieties for
those elected, and SO continuing the ex-
pertinent
While accurate and reliable results can
be deduced only after series OF TRIALS,
owing TO varying conditions of soil, ID
sects, seasons, etc, few general con-
cllsions have besn suggested to my
mind from past experience: l. That an
early oat Is the safest to raise; = that
variety is actually rust proof; . that
the horse name varieties. as class, are
less productive; 4. that heavy tillIng
is not desirable; 5. that many of the So
called new kinds are old varieties with
new names; 6. that the very heavy oats
deteriorate more rapidly than those OF

White English, the White Belgian and
the Race horse oats have prsved with me
to be practically the same. Four trials
two by myself and two by others
would indicate that oats, if dry when
thrashed, will suffer little or nothing
from shrinkage. Four bushels thrashed
August 27, weighed leost pounds; the
same grain on November IL, a rainy day
turned the scale at los pounds. Other
weighings have indicated similar yaria-
tlons IN keeping with the weather. Two
trials were continued nearly one year.
Thus far, of all kinds tested, the Badger
Queen was the earliest, the Black Tartar
ian the latest, the Welcome the heaviest,
the White Zealand the highest; the Amer
lean Triumph the tallest; the Vermont
the shortest. and the White Schooner
the most prolific.

FARM NOTES.
If hog is worth having on the farm

If a hog is worth having on the farm
then he is worth feeding until he is at his
best.
Constant change of stock gives you no
opportunity to realize the full value of
any breed, however good.
Experiments show that the native
thick-skinned grapes are better winter
keepers than our improved varieties.
Oats are the best grains for calves in
their first winter, and they have best eff
feet when well moistened before feeding.
Under like conditions young animals
make greater gain, in proportion to food
eaten, than those that are fully matured.
Nobody has seen ground narrowed too
much for the preparation of wheat, for 1T
is hardly possible to get too fine filth.
Poultry should have a certain proper
ton of sal, in their food as we'll as ami
mails, as it is necessary to the promotion
of health and Thrift.
Do not use fertilizers too lavishly on
potato plants. A small quantity applied
frequently Is better than a full allowance
at one time.
Make your hot bed frames in sections,
SO that they can be stored away when not
in use. 1t is much better than allowing
them to remain on the ground to become
useless.
Try crude petroleum, which will cost
about ten cents gallon, as wood pre-
servative. Apply to fences and wood that
rests upon the ground, it will add years to
the weaf.
1t is an easy matter to have garden
so arranged as to cultivate it with
horse hoe, bot the best results are usually
obtained on small plots well MANFRED and
worked by hand.
The overlooking of any kind of breed
ing stock is calculated to impair fertili-
ty and that species of thriftiness which
prompts to activity and the full working
powers of all the organs.
good sharp fodder cutter, used at
every feeding, will save more than its
cost, as well as pay for the labor of cut
ting every season. All the coarse food
should be passed through the fodder cut
ter.
